Harvey testified in federal court this year that he gave oxycodone in 2019 to Tyler Skaggs, an Angels teammate who died that year while under the effects of opioids and alcohol.
Harvey, now 33, acknowledged during the trial that he had a “history” of partying during his career, including cocaine use, and that it was not uncommon for him and other Angels players to take oxycodone and occasionally provide it to one another. The 2019 season was the only one he spent as a member of the Angels, following several years with the New York Mets and a brief stint with the Cincinnati Reds.
Following his release from the Angels in July 2019, a few weeks after Skaggs’s death, Harvey signed a minor league deal with the Oakland Athletics. He joined the Kansas City Royals in 2020 on a similar deal and made four major league starts, then became a regular last season in the Orioles’ rotation.Although he notched a 6.27 ERA for Baltimore, Harvey finished second on the team in innings and provided experience on an otherwise young staff.
A first-round pick by the Mets in 2010 out of the University of North Carolina, Harvey made an impressive major league debut in 2012 and earned an all-star selection the following season, during which he posted a 2.27 ERA in 26 starts, with 191 strikeouts and 31 walks. Harvey sat out 2014 after undergoing Tommy John surgery, then posted a 2.71 ERA in 2015 while helping the Mets reach the World Series.
, and he has not been the same pitcher since. While bouncing around the majors from 2017 through 2021, Harvey has accumulated a 6.15 ERA over 98 appearances.it was “a very unique situation right now with everything that he was involved in that came to light over the winter.
MLB also announced Tuesday that Milwaukee Brewers pitcher J.C. Mejía received an 80-game suspension after testing positive for stanozolol, a synthetic steroid. Mejía, 25, is the second Milwaukee player to receive that punishment this season, following catcher Pedro Severino, who tested positive for performance-enhancing substance clomiphene.
